Alone with darkness

The first 3 verses are based on reality and the last 2 are from the dream world. I don’t really like the title. Any constructive criticism welcome.
Alone with darkness.
As I stood there, faces made of wood stared back.
The cries of animals echoed all around me.
The fingers of darkness lay in wait,
And all I can do is stare back.
I am caught in a hurricane of emotion,
Fed by the emptiness all around me.
The fingers of darkness closing in,
And all I can do is stare back.
The moon gazes down on me,
But cannot penetrate the night.
The fingers of darkness grasp me,
And all I can do is stare back.
The darkness crushing me,
Building pressure, weighing me down.
The fingers of darkness strangles me,
My struggles in vein.
I cease to compete ,
My mind winds down.
The fingers of darkness break me,
And I see the orb of the night's steady glow.
